Faster to Science: A Letter to the Science Community
NASA Science wants to deliver science faster, so we’re changing how we compete and select missions. On Monday, October 26, we will host a virtual NASA Science Town Hall. The post Faster to Science: A Letter to the Science Community appeared first on NASA Science .
NASA Science is committed to accelerating the delivery of science by changing how it competes and selects missions. The new Competition Model 2.0 (CM2.0) aims to streamline the mission selection process by focusing on the science first, without requiring detailed engineering plans, cost, and implementation work until necessary. CM2.0 will be implemented in stages, with Flagships (directed missions) remaining unchanged, while Astro-Probes, New Frontiers, and Discovery missions will move to a new, accelerated two-step competition.
This change is driven by NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman's directive to prioritize the delivery of science, reduce the time and resources spent on long competitive processes, and focus funding on the highest-priority missions across every NASA Science division.
